Escaping the warlords of the north, a warrior named Myghal finds himself lost in the shambled and overworked Empire on his way home to the Southern Plains. A wanted man, on the run, he crosses path with a thief named Ira, who needs his help in righting a curse from him and the Empire. That is, if they can work together.
History is for the making, but glory is for the taking.
